The British Board of Film Classification

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) is an organization responsible for reviewing and rating films in the UK. Its purpose is to provide guidance to audiences and ensure content is appropriate for different age groups. The BBFC assesses films for violence, language, sexual content, and other material, assigning ratings like U (Universal), PG, 12A, 15, or 18. These ratings help viewers make informed choices and maintain standards of public decency. The BBFC's role is independent, voluntary, and aimed at balancing artistic expression with social responsibility.
